example in readme should be

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/lowerquality/gentle.git

Otherwise the kaldi folder will be empty. Took me 3 weeks to figure that out.
But then also if anyone says it's not working too the only other problem I found is OpenFST consistently was corrupted on download.

Found it online here it is as backup incase anyone asks.
openfst-1.6.5.tar.gz

Looks like the link changed to OPENFST
someone mentioned it here too unless that's really old and unrelated...idk
